Eduardo R. Engineering Student Mechanical or Industrial Engineering ### "Energy low cost previews, for high value real life results" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 30, 2022 A very complete software with minor cons that gives great value results if your inputs are thoroughly thought. Pros With a few hours you can easily manipulate the software. Homer works with NASA databases to obtain data (climate, solar radiation, wind velocities, etc.) from regions across the world, critical in any energy project. Homer optimizer displays the best results with the various energy generation methods the user provides. Of course, it is better when the user inputs reasonable, affordable, and available generation methods according to their case. Homer´s primary criteria for energy projects rely con costs, so efficient cheaper systems are offered first. Data is easily exported so you can further analyze in software like MATLAB to analyze energy generation and consumption (so you can further optimize the proposal). Grid tariffs are easily modified. Cons Databases allow for a general approach to the scenario, but they could be updated more frequently to have better, more actual data of the current situation in your region (of course you can import your data but it would be better if Homer automatically was up to date).

Pros I have used this software in my subject Energy storage and flexibility options. It is an good software to know about the Energy consumption at relevant area and locations. It basically gives an overall idea of which type of Energy is highly consumed and in what percentage for e.g solar 30%, hydro 20%, coal 10%, geo thermal 10% etc. The working and presentations of the software is easy and the controls were also pretty easy. I use to solve some examples via this software of my subject. I got an access to Homer Pro version and I operate it for some thrice a time but not much. But there is a lot of potentiality is their in this software and may be future things or Energy utilities can be compulsory be analyze by Homer Energy. Cons The software needs a lot of publicity in the open market and especially in the core Energy sector. As many Energy analysts were not known to such technology. I will also recommend a feature like simulink by which a simulation of the Energy flow can be performed.
